# Proxies

Enable the TaskBot to be launched via your own proxies.

### Step 1: Open Your Proxy Provider's Dashboard

Enter your proxy address, username and password.

If your proxy does not require username and password, leave those fields blank.

For example, consider this proxy configuration provided by a commonly used proxy provider in the screenshot below.

Given this proxy configuration, then this will be the data you will need to enter.

* **Proxy address**: <mark style="background-color:red;">194.32.225.238:21261</mark> (proxy IP followed by the port, separated by a colon)
* **Username**: See username in 4th column
* **Password**: See password in 5th column

{% hint style="danger" %}
**IMPORTANT**: Your proxy address should be entered as a combination of ip **and** port, separated by a colon mark. \
\
**Example**: Proxy ip is 194.32.225.238 and the port is 21261.\
\
❌ 194.32.225.238 won't work because port is missing.\
❌ 194.32.225.23821261 won't work because port must be separated from ip.\
❌ 194.32.225.238.21261 won't work because port must be preceded by a colon mark, not dot.\
✅ **194.32.225.238:21261 will work.**
{% endhint %}

#### SOCKS5 Proxy

To use SOCKS5 proxies, use this format: socks5://\<your proxy>:3128, where 3128 corresponds to the port as described above.

### Step 2: Open Settings and Enter Your Proxy Data

Simply click on the settings gear on the top right of your TaskBot page to access TaskBot settings, click on *Add proxy* and then enter your proxy credentials.
